Dana and family:
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your stepdad, Al. Our sympathies to you and your family. While we only met Al once, the girls knew him as a generous and caring person. As Kayla puts it,"he was a true family guy."While it's never easy losing someone so young, and so suddenly, may happy memories bring some comfort and peace.

Love,
Sandy and Mark Michalak

I was so sorry to hear this sad news. I haven't seen Al in years since I left MGIC, but remember his large personality and kind spirit. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was taken too soon.

Lynda & family,

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you all. Al filled a room like no one else could. He was a vivacious and wonderful man. Lynda as you know he ADORED you. And he was very proud of and loved Dana and Kyle, he talked of them often. Al will be greatly missed by his MGIC family as well as his Greendale family. I'm so blessed to have known him, he will not be forgotten.
Peace,
Lisa Wilde
